Trump Calls On Senate GOP Go Nuclear On Filibuster. That’s Not Going To Happen
As the Federal Government shutdown entered its second day, President Trump took to Twitter to say that he believed that Senate Republicans should eliminate the legislative filibuster to get around the fact that they can’t get the current Continuing Resolution, or any replacement bill, passed without support without support from at least some members of the Senate Democratic Caucus: The White House on Sunday called for Senate Republicans to change the chamber’s rules to resolve the funding...
Trump And McConnell Are In A Cold War, And The GOP Agenda Is In Danger

Rossiter Jr. to the federal branch in the District of Nebraska to fill an emergency vacancy. Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska has been praised for her work to see that the Senate took this vote.

Las Vegas Review-Journal
Harry Reid is creating an empty perch in Washington as he retires from the U.S. Senate. It’s one that nine Republican and four Democratic candidates are hoping to fill. It’s also a nationally watched Senate race, one of only a few that Republicans hope could join their column after the Democratic minority leader makes his exit. Big donors are betting on either a former Nevada attorney general or a congressman, depending on their political party.

Grassley: 'We need to hear each other out'
A March 20 letter accused me of not being interested in bipartisanship, citing only that I haven’t co-sponsored a symbolic “sense of the Senate” resolution the author supports [Sen. Grassley, Rep. King ignore bipartisan efforts]. Anyone familiar with my work knows I have a long record of seeking common ground across the aisle on substantive legislation.

As the population ages, the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s will continue to grow, and if current trends persist, as many as 16 million Americans will have this terrible disease by 2050.

Moran’s memo: Happy Kansas Day - The Arkansas City Traveler : Columns
Yet, our state’s true legacy has been built by the farmers, factory workers, teachers and parents who work hard every day to improve our communities and state for the next generation. These unsung heroes have made Kansas such a special place to live. In them, the spirit of the pioneers who settled our state 155 years ago lives on. At no point in the past century have Kansans had it easy — our state’s motto, “To the stars through difficulty,” reflects this truth.
Finding the right formula on education
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy The federal education law passed under President Bush in 2001, No Child Left Behind, has been a disaster for Connecticut. As a product of Connecticut’s public schools, and the son and husband of former teachers, I know that No Child Left Behind had good intentions — pushing states to improve failing schools and results for minority and disabled students — but the law went off the rails when it turned teaching into one big test preparation exercise.

Given the facts, the need for a pause to protect national security is obvious.Top officials have expressed worry about our ability to fully vet refugees and block terrorists.
